She's got mouths to feed! Luxury-loving mother-of-six Kim Zolciak forced to take out $300,000 loan to finish opulent dream home

Having recently expanded her family to eight with the birth of twins Kaia and Kane in November, Kim Zolciak is no doubt chomping at the bit to finally get settled into the family's sprawling new mansion.

So much so, in fact, it's been revealed that the former Real Housewives Of Atlanta favourite and her husband of two years, NFL player Kroy Biermann, 28, were forced to take out an additional whopping $300,000 bank loan to complete their extensive renovations.

The line of credit taken out from Landmark Community Bank on December 9, the paperwork from which was obtained by RadarOnline, brings the sum total spent on the property in Alpharetta, Georgia to just shy of $1.2 million.

The stakes are high: Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann have been forced to take out an additional $300,000 line of credit in order to complete the extensive renovations on their dream home in Alpharetta, Georgia

No expense spared: The sprawling 7,186 sq ft mansion features five bedrooms, six-and-a-half bathrooms, a huge swimming pool, eight fireplaces and a two-storey master closet, among plenty of other high-end finishes

The couple purchased the 7,186 sq ft five-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom house - dubbed Zolciak Manor - for $880,000 in 2012 and subsequently went straight to work on gutting it and creating their dream home for their growing family.

With so much financial pressure
placed on the couple, it could perhaps explain why the outspoken blonde
has revealed that she would happily return to the show that made her a
household name.

Despite
bailing on the series midway through the fifth season due to the
constant feuding and drama with her co-stars, Kim has admitted she is
now 'open' to going back for more.

'Now
that I’m done having babies, I can’t say that I wouldn’t go back,' Kim
tells In Touch magazine. 'For the most part, I enjoyed my time on the
show.'

However, viewers can expect plenty of continuing conflict should she make her big return.

'Wow!!!! How beautiful!!! Welcome to the Atlanta!': The reality TV favourite gave fans a glimpse of her sprawling - and currently snow-covered - garden complete with infinity pool and plenty of sun loungers on Wednesday

'Our waterfall!! It's a little cold in the A!!!! Brrrrr......': Of course, what home would be complete without a waterfall cascading down from a stunning natural rock formation

'NeNe [Leakes] and I are cool, and Cynthia [Bailey] is sweet, but the rest of the women are useless!' she spills candidly.

For
her part, NeNe, who stars in the show as well as juggling a Hollywood
acting career that has included stints on Glee, says she'll welcome her old pal back with open arms on
one condition: that she works.

'I'm
not against Kim returning to The Real Housewives Of Atlanta,' the
46-year-old tells Bravo's Watch What Happens Live, despite the fact that
Kim rubbed all the girls up the wrong way by constantly being late for
filming, not showing up to events and putting her family's needs ahead of her obligations to the show.

Cash-strapped? Kroy still splashed out $9,500 on this plexiglass Chanel purse for his wife at Christmas, though she has since made the revelation she's 'open' to returning to the Real Housewives, likely for the pay cheque

Not that she can be blamed for the latter, having welcomed four children in quick succession since taking up with Atlanta Falcons star Kroy in May 2010.

The couple were already parents to five-and-a-half-month-old son Kroy Jr, known as 'KJ', when they married on November 11, 2011, before second son Kash came along in August 2012.

Fraternal twins Kaia and Kane were born just two months ago, on November 25, bringing the tally up to four children under the age of three.

Close quarters: With six children all under one roof, it's little wonder the couple were keen to get the renovations on their new property completed - even if it meant spending more money

Doting dad: As well as having four kids with his new wife - sons KJ (pictured), two-and-a-half, Kash, 17 months, and twins Kane and Kaia, two-months, the 28-year-old also officially adopted Kim's daughters Brielle, 16, and Ariana, 12, last July

Kim is also mom to daughters Brielle, who turns 17 next month, and Ariana, 12, from previous relationships, both of whom Kroy officially adopted in July last year.

While she may have the support of some members of cast to return to the Real Housewives, it remains to be seen whether or not producers will feel the same way.

The reality series has enjoyed a spike in ratings since Kim's departure, cementing it as the most popular of all the Housewives spin-offs.

In recent weeks, more than 4.5 million viewers have tuned in to catch the new episodes on Sunday night, while as many as 1.3 million more are reported to have caught the midnight encore screening.
